After 1D sang on stage at London’s Albert Hall, Walliams came out with a wig and a red cardigan and pretended to be a stalker

After they sang on stage at London’s Albert Hall, Walliams came out with a wig and a red cardigan and pretended to be a stalker.

Putting on a girls voice, Walliams said: “I’ve got a washing machine and I named it One Direction. You make me so happy.

“Was your song What Makes You Beautiful written about me? I love you so much. Will you marry me?”

After four of the boys turned down his proposal he then ended the sketch by approaching Harry Styles, and asking him to “take a photo” with the rest of the boys.

Walliams, 41, was hosting the Royal Variety and fellow BGT judge Amanda Holden was also involved introducing some of the acts.

Holden, 41, told the Mirror she thought Walliams would make a great dad after he announced on Friday his wife was pregnant.

She said: “David is delighted, I think he’s nervous.

"He showed me and Alesha Dixon some really cute scan pictures the other day when we saw him.

"It’s a gorgeous, good-looking baby and I’m, sure it is going to be massively long and tall - so good luck with that Lara. He will be an excellent dad.

"He’s in love with Burt, his dog, so he probably needs some human to put some love into as well.”

New member of Girls Aloud? Queen walks past Cheryl and co

The Royal Variety Performance was attended by the Queen and his Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh.

After performing with Girls Aloud, Cheryl said: "The Queen is so delicate. She has hair like Candy floss and tiny dancing style shoes, awww. Another highlight was Alicia Keys, such an incredibly talented and down to earth woman."

And her bandmate Kimberley Walsh added: "Cannot believe I have just met the Queen! What an amazing night!"

Nicola Roberts said: "I'm so excited I've just met the Queen. I've always wanted to meet her. She was sparkling from head to toe."

Asked for the secret of their 65 year marriage, Holden added: “I suppose it’s listening and being supportive.

"That’s what marriage is about - and I am sure they still fancy each other!”

The show also included Britain’s Got Talent stars Ashleigh and Pudsey doing a routine as their prize for winning the ITV show.

Ahead of her performance, Ashleigh said: “Its going to be very British, very current and there will be a few surprises.

“I feel like I am back at Britain’s Got Talent except I am stood next to One Direction and Cheryl Cole.”

Asked how Pudsey would greet the Queen, she added: “He has been practicing his bows. Hopefully it will all go to plan or he will look like or he will look like he has fallen asleep.

“I will let the queen do the talking. If she wants to talk to me I will say something back and just make sure Pudsey is good as well.”

The prized mutt, who is in talks to have his own movie, was given a cheeseburger as a reward for his performance on stage.

Last night’s show, which will air on ITV on Dec 3, was the 100th anniversary of the Royal Variety Performance.
